Disaster Recovery.

[Tony Hawke]

Hi all,

I'm considering setting up a cfengine site, but have come up against a 
little wall and couldn't find anything of help in the FAQ or docs.  What 
happens when the main cfengine server goes down?

I know that all of the clients can continue using their current 
configs.  But as soon as I get the main server back up (restored from 
backup or whatever,) they'll lose whatever changes have been made to 
their configs in the intervening time.  This is a bit of an issue as the 
systems we use here are somewhat fluid in their configuration.

So the question is: Is there any inbuilt way for the clients to failover 
to a second server if the main cfengine server goes down?

Thanks in advance,

Tony
